the TODAY Show

I might have mentioned Daniel's work before...he LOVES his job. (It has definitely been an act of faith for him to walk away from it for a year.) Daniel works for NPower Charlotte, which is a non-profit that helps other non-profits in town within the realm of IT and websites. One of the reasons we love Daniel's work is because it allows us to know about the non-profits in town and the work of so many that are giving back to the community.

One of Daniel's clients is "Community School of the Arts". He has been working on several facets of IT for this organization. About a month or so ago he found out that they had been chosen by the Today Show and Al Roker for Al's summer series called "Lend a Hand". Maybe you have seen him do this? He has been traveling around the country highlighting a non-profit in each city. How exciting. The producers visited a few weeks back to take footage of CSA and their work. Then we found out about a week or so ago that Al was going to be LIVE last Friday doing his part of the show and interviewing LIVE Daniel's client and executives. I was already planning to be in VA, but had I not been in VA I would have been there with a sign that said "My Husband Made the Website!". :) Just kidding.

So long story even longer....the whole thing got bumped due to Michael Jackson's death on Thursday and the media frenzy that circled that event. Al Roker was still here in Charlotte but they didn't show anything about our beautiful city or interview any of the CSA peeps.

So with Al Roker back in NYC this morning, they only were able to show this 5 minute video...feel free to watch it. It is a great non-profit that serves many children and adults alike here in our town. We are so proud of Charlotte's non-profit community.
